Yikes....9 opponents! And an interesting combination of other settings, including slow tech rate and super-abilities.

Thanks Silver!

Okay, so where do we submit the game once it's finished? I have a character in the Kzinti Empire, so I may not be able to submit through that one.

GE: You can submit a game using any Metaverse character you have, in any empire. Once you have submitted your game to the Metaverse, you need to post the game information (submission time stamp, character, score, game years, version at a minimum) here in the round 9 forum.

I hear there my be a hot fix this week for the research bug, so I might try it with TA. That bug got me in the bonus round. That's why it took me 5yrs on tough to complete.

For anyone that doesn't know, this bug causes a dramatic increase in the cost of all research periodically. Like 1st level beam weapons taking 20 turns to research. Yikes! I've seen it in all sandbox games I've played, but not in the tourney games. Strange.

@GeneralEtrius and all other new players (NOTICE to TEAM CAPTAINS)

please note and be aware that a Player may play the round settings as much as they want to in any given round timespan to achieve the outcome that they most desire BUT they may only submit one game to the Official MVL Round thread.

It is usually beneficial and encouraged to discuss with your team your current games and scores before making your official submission to the League.

Hope that helps everyone



As for the round settings- we've had some conquest victories before but I wanted a really good melee-type round, where your get to just get out there and kick some AI behind. I've found that the main drawback in those rounds/games is that the AI tends to, especially on the higher difficulties, go so fast in tech that if you aren't careful you'll have fleets with 100attack coming at you while you only have peashooters with Laser Vs on them. The slow tech rate should help against that.

as an aside, for people to keep in the back of their minds...next month (July 13th to be exact) will be the official one year anniversary of the Metaverse League. If individuals would like to send me PMs (preferred method) of their ideas, I can start preparing now for it.

This round is probably the hardest game I've played. The Iconians are very agressive toward me in this particular scenario (DL ver1.5).

It looks like I'm gonna have to start all over...or post a defeat.. Definitely have to change my strategy..

Hey Freeeman, check your PM messages please.
All the other crusaders have gotten word and replied so I just thought I'd send notice. If you didn't get it, PM me and I'll send another one.

Just thought i'd do a little self promoting guys. After doing so many ZYW's i thought perhaps an AAR based on a ZYW might be interesting.

Iv'e done chapter 1 and will have chapter 2 up in a few days....

Check it out.

Neilo's AAR
